Champagne Laurent-Perrier & The Elle Women in Hollywood Event 2021

Since last Tuesday, I might have repeated it countless times, but the overwhelming sense of honor and gratitude still lingers within me. Being a part of something truly grand has left an indelible mark. As we delve into this week's "An Outfit and a Glass of Wine," I am dedicating it to one of my all-time favorite opportunities.

This post is sponsored by Ferrero Group. The opinions and text are all mine.

Valentine’s Day has a whole new meaning around here now that I have a little girl around. Kevin and I have been together almost 10 years and he’s always made sure that Valentine’s Day was a special time to celebrate us. In the past, we loved to travel and dine out, while occasionally staying home and doing something special here. We LOVE to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year. It’s always go big or go home around here and that’s why we choose Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature chocolates every time.

White Elephant Gift Guide | For Her

We all want to be the giver of the gift that everyone wants. But we get busy, wait until the last minute, and pick up something mediocre on the way to the party. IT happens!

I put this guide together for all those women get-togethers! Gifts range from $10-$60 and any woman is sure to love each one!

Holiday Style | Mama + Daughter

I’ve been trying to get a Cyber Monday post up all weekend but Squarespace would not allow me to edit my original blog post! So here were are, a rushed version of the initial (this is the third try, so wish me luck!). I only get one shot to get this blog post right, so I apologize for any errors, as I’m not able to edit it once it goes live!

Lots of questions via Instagram on mine and Nixon’s Holiday wardrobe so I’m adding click-thru links below. Most every item is on a major sale today! Just click on something you like and it’s a link to shop :)

I love to cook but honestly, I’m just not that great at it. My two worlds collided on this day when one of my very favorite restaurants taught me to cook their signature meal!

Party Essentials You Don't Even Have To Leave Your House For

Party Essentials You Don't Even Have To Leave Your House For

Have you ever been scrambling last minute to get everything ready for the party you are hosting? We have all been there. It is stressful, panicky, and if you are in Arizona like me: too damn hot to be going from store to store. So after learning from my mistakes I have decided that I am more of an online shopper.

Mom's Spa Night Out | Featuring Bumble + Camelback Inn + June Jacobs Spa

Mom's Spa Night Out | Featuring Bumble + Camelback Inn + June Jacobs Spa

As usual, I’ve been pretty busy lately. My days are maxed out with work and appointments --- being an expecting mom can be EXHAUSTING to say the least. My due date is right around the corner and of course Phoenix is heating up v. quickly… which just makes the days tougher. I have definitely been in desperate need of a break and some relaxation and I knew there were some other mom’s in my line of business who needed that too, so my latest Bumble event could not have come at a better time.

Phoenix Baby Shower

Phoenix Baby Shower

As many of you may know, my last baby shower has now come and gone. It has been so fun getting to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our little girl with friends and family. Our last baby shower took place here in Phoenix and it was hosted by my sweet friends: JessMcKenna and Bethany. They put together the best day. We had the yummiest food, the cutest drinks and my entire Phoenix fam was there to help me celebrate!

Los Angeles Baby Shower

Los Angeles Baby Shower

Our baby shower in LA was so magical. LA is where it all started for my little family. I met Kevin only a week after moving to LA and we instantly had a connection and became good friends. When we finally started dating, he moved to San Francisco where I eventually followed.

Favorite Game Day Snack | Featuring Popchips

Favorite Game Day Snack | Featuring Popchips

I love Game Day! I think it’s so fun to gather with friends and family and watch the game while eating all of our favorite snacks. I usually end up spending the entire day snacking, so I make it a priority to only pick up healthy snacks that won’t leave me feeling guilty. I love to stock up on fruit and veggies, guacamole, charcuterie plates, and one of my Game Day faves, Popchips!

Launching Bumble Bizz at Olive & Ivy

Launching Bumble Bizz at Olive & Ivy

Hey guys!  I’m excited to announce that Bumble has done it again and they are releasing a new part of their app called Bumble Bizz. Bumble Bizz specializes in allowing users to make business connections. I think this is so cool, especially because Bizz is staying true to Bumble’s roots. Just like the dating service Bumble offers, women make the first move. Bumble is continuing to put women in the power seat.

Girls Staycay | Featuring Bumble x Hotel Valley Ho

Girls Staycay | Featuring Bumble x Hotel Valley Ho

My Bumble girls and I recently had the opportunity to have a weekend staycay at Hotel Valley Ho and it was the BEST. I love that Bumble brings us together for super fun events like this one. My favorite thing about BumbleBFF is how much emphasis they put on harvesting friendships. It’s hard to find time in my busy schedule to really give each of my friendships the attention and quality time that they deserve, but BumbleBFF has really helped me with this! I really do love getting to spend quality time with my friends at our events, and our Bumble x Hotel Valley Ho staycay was definitely one for the books.

Restaurant Overview | Featuring ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho

I recently partnered with BumbleBFF and Hotel Valley Ho to host a girls staycation in Scottsdale, Arizona.  As a part of the staycation Hotel Valley Ho hosted us for a dinner and brunch over the course of our stay at their restaurant, ZuZu. Which offers a modern twist on classic fare. The restaurant had such a nice ambiance that features live music on Friday and Saturday evenings that gave all the good vibes throughout the night.

Egg Breakfast Wraps | Recipe

Egg Breakfast Wraps | Recipe

These breakfast wraps are the best! I love them because they trick my mind into thinking I’m eating bread based wrap when in reality, the wrap is made entirely out of egg! These wraps are also super versatile. I always stuff them with my faves: tomatoes, avocado and spinach. However, you can totally be more adventurous and add ingredients such as sauted veggies, protein, cheese or anything else you want in there because pretty much EVERYTHING tastes good with eggs.

Yogurt Dipped Blueberries | Recipe

I love fruit dipped in greek yogurt! In case you missed my last fruit + greek yogurt post, I recently
dipped kiwi slices in greek yogurt and froze them. I was pretty much in heaven! It’s crazy how it
tastes like SUCH a treat, when in reality it’s simply fruit and greek yogurt! Two totally healthy
and good-for- you ingredients. I’m so obsessed.
